The impasse in the Janata Dal (United) continued with its Bihar unit president Rajiv Ranjan Singh aka Lalan Singh refusing to withdraw his resignation on Saturday.

The party's national president Sharad Yadav, who flew down to Patna to resolve the differences among top leaders, held talks with Lalan for nearly two hours but could not change his mind.

Lalan later said that Yadav had called him and other leaders to discuss various party-related issues. But he ruled out any plan to withdraw his resignation.

"I have told you time and again that I will not withdraw my resignation," he said.

Lalan said that he would like to work as an ordinary party member.

"The party should give due respect to the ordinary workers as well as senior leaders," he said.

Yadav, however, insisted that all was well within the party.
